Post Office staff: cuts 667. Mr M J ELLIS

asked the Minister of Communications:

Whether there are to be any cuts in Post Office staff in 1988; if so, (a) what percentage of the staff complement is it intended will (i) be retrenched and/or (ii) have their posts frozen and (b) how are these cuts to be effected?

The MINISTER OF COMMUNICATIONS:

Staff provision in the Post Office is directly related to the demand for the various services it renders and although a decrease of 1,8% is anticipated in the number of personnel at the end of the financial year which ended on 31 March 1988 as compared to that at the end of the previous financial year, there is no indication at this stage that there will be a drastic decrease in the number of staff members for the 1988/89 financial year. In line with standing practice, the Department will, however, continue to —

(a) abolish posts that may become redundant; and
(b) hold the filling of vacancies that occur in abeyance if necessary, without detrimentally affecting the rendering of service.

It is not the intention to retrench personnel with a view to effecting reductions. Everything possible is being done to place persons who become redundant at a specific office or section, elsewhere where there is a need for their services.

Telephone accounts in arrears 753. Mr C J DERBY-LEWIS

asked the Minister of Communications:

(1) How many telephone subscribers residing in the Black residential areas of South Africa were in arrears with their telephone accounts (a) as at the latest specified date for which information is available and (b) as at the same date in the previous year;
(2) whether such subscribers are allowed a period of grace prior to their telephone services being discontinued; if so, (a) what is this period and (b) what charges are levied for reconnecting such services?

The MINISTER OF COMMUNICATIONS:

(1) (a) and (b) Since the large majority of the approximately 1 600 exchanges in the country serve both Black and White clients and as these groups are not reflected separately in our records, the compilation of the required information will be a task of considerable magnitude which cannot be justified;
(2) yes,
1. (a) and (b) from the time of the rendering of an account, from 45 to 51 days are allowed before a service is suspended due to non-payment. Should payment be effected after suspension, the service is restored and a reconnection fee of R30,00 levied. If payment is, however, not effected within a reasonable period after suspension, the client is informed in writing that steps are being taken to discontinue the service. Should the service thus be discontinued and the client requires restoration the request is treated as a new application and the full installation charge of R125,00 is payable in addition to any outstanding amounts in respect of his previous service. Depending on circumstances, an advance payment may also be collected to protect the Department’s income.

Printing contracts awarded to two companies 831. Mr D J DALLING

asked the Minister of Communications:

(1) Whether his Department awarded any printing contracts in 1987 to two companies, the names of which have been furnished to the Commission for Administration for the purpose of the Minister’s reply, or to their associated companies and printing operations; if so, (a) in respect of what publications or printed matter, (b) how many copies of each publication or item were ordered from each company and (c) what are the names of the companies concerned;
(2) whether these contracts were put out to tender; if not, (a) why not and (b) what was the total amount paid by his Department in respect of each of these contracts; if so, what was the (i) tender price originally accepted, and (ii) total amount paid out, in respect of each contract;
(3) whether his Department subsidizes any publications published by the above companies; if so, (a) which publications and (b)(i) why, and (ii) what is the amount of the subsidy, in each case;
(4) what total amount was spent by his Department in 1987 on printing and publishing involving (a) the above companies and (b) any other specified companies?

CAPE PROVINCE

(1) There are no provincial hospitals in the Cape Province which are reserved solely for the treatment of White patients.
(2) (a) and (b)
As stated in answer to question 1 there are no definite restrictions placed on the utilization of hospital facilities solely for one specific race group. Certain areas in hospitals are, however, allocated for the principal use of a specific race group in accordance with government policy, but there are also central facilities which in accordance with medical criteria are used for all race groups. Under-utilization does occur in certain areas allocated for Whites. Regarding areas allocated for Non-whites, they are frequently over-utilized, but there are also certain areas which are under-utilized.
(3) (a) and (b)
The utilization of provincial hospital facilities is actively monitored and amendments are made on a continuous basis where circumstances warrant and where relevant factors and available funds make it at all possible. Accordingly, during 1986/1987,170 White beds were re-allocated for use by Non-whites. The Cape Province strives to provide hospital facilities to all population groups within its sphere of responsibility on an equitable basis.
